Dear Mr Swan
RE: SUB OFFICER X
Further to our telephone conversations, I have now been able to speak to the officers within the College who are able to comment on the facts.
On 4 March 1997, the Duty Officer was contacted by College security staff following a report of a student experiencing disturbance from other students. The Duty Officer went to the residential block in question at about 0100 hours. He could not detect any disturbance from outside the block and checked the location with security. Following confirmation, he went to the first floor landing of “C” Block and found 2 students listening to a radio. There was no evidence of any undue noise or disturbance. He asked the students if they had received complaints about noise or disturbance. They stated that a student had complained, tried to remove their radio, but that the matter had been resolved. The Duty Officer advised them to ensure that they did not give cause for complaint and left the block. The entry in the College log at 0110 hours confirms nothing apparent on investigation.
The memo submitted by SubO X to the Commandant was, in the first instance, considered by the Course Director, DO C Moffatt. He gave an undertaking to subO X that the matter would be dealt with at Course Director level, ie between him and the Course Director of the watch Commanders’ Course, DO D Hanlon. I believe both Course Directors felt that the matter was dealt with to the satisfaction of the student, which negated forwarding the memo to the Commandant. This was the understanding between SubO X and DO Moffatt. Certainly, arranging alternative accommodation was seen as totally resolving the problem for SubO X.
If I can be of any further assistance, perhaps you will contact me again. I am on leave from 16 – 30 May but Pam Newton, my assistant, will be dealing with matters in my absence.
Yours sincerely
